I’ve just completed a work for singer Jodie Landau and electronic track with text by Dora Malech–we’ll be premiering it soon at the North Caroline Museum of Art on a crazy-long late-night concert.

This past summer I spent four weeks at Ucross–had a phenomenal time there as always.

Ripple the Sky visited the Kennedy Center this past December on a KC Jukebox show. The work premiered on L.A.’s first 21c Liederabend installment at Disney Hall, and was also performed by the San Francisco Symphony at SoundBox in a concert celebrating John Adams’s 70th birthday.

The tireless and inimitable Ashley Bathgate is playing Ley Line on a bunch of shows in the next couple months, including on a busy California tour and at the Strathmore Mansion. See the Events page for details, and see this Times article for a discussion of Sleeping Giant’s collaboration with her (as well as our work with Eighth Blackbird).

Brooklyn Rider incorporated Arches into their collaborative theater piece with dancers Brian Brooks and Wendy Whelan. They toured around a bunch of cities over a couple seasons–see the events page for details.

Album release news #1: Pasturing II was released by the Living Earth Show on Dance Music (New Amsterdam Records, more info here).

Album release news #2: The Eighth Blackbird / Sleeping Giant collaboration Hand Eye is out now on Cedille Records. Get your copy here or here or here. The ensemble will be playing my work on its Bold Moves collaboration with the Cincinnati ballet this coming April. And here is a review of Hand Eye at Carnegie Hall.

I recently took part in a Kimmel Center Theater Residency program with Theo Bleckmann in Philly. Stay tuned for the fruits of our labor!

Silver Threads was featured on Q2’s “Best of 2014: New Music” show at the Greene Space. The album has also received some end-of-the-year love from NewMusicBox and WNYC, and we had a couple great performances of the cycle at Portland’s 3rd Angle.

The Carmina Slovenica Choir performed Stabat Mater Dolorosa as part of their show Toxic Psalms on the 2015 Prototype Festival in New York. The Slovenian group had previously performed my work a bunch abroad, and it was a thrill to finally get to hear them live. See the New Yorker preview, and the Times preview and review.
